With these amazing reefs comes amazing spearfishing. One great spot to try is called middle keys. Unfortunately a lot of the other places are protected areas that do not allow spearfishing. Remember that you may need to boat out to some of these reefs because they are not always so close to the shore. If you do find shallow reefs however lookout for some yellowtail snapper that is hiding out.

In the summer time when the water temperature is considerably higher, the large fish tend to swim out to cooler waters. Sometimes you may have to travel as far as six miles out to find these big fish. Some of the popular fish that are out there include grouper and snapper: mutton, yellowtail, gray or mangrove, and hogfish.
